Abstract
In May 2021, one of the authors collected 22 specimens of land mollusks in the Khoja Mohammed Ridge, located in the northeastern part of Afghanistan. Shell is extraordinary, similar to Fruticicola perlucens (Rosen, 1903). However, having a number of differences, including a finely grained sculpture of the embryonic whorls, smoothly ribbed last whorl, evenly turned edges of the aperture, a strongly blurred white lip, and a clearly pronounced swollen base of the stylophore of this species, makes it describe of Fruticicola pseudoperlucens sp. nov. as new species to science.
